A Random Day

After a 20-day absence, Himself was cleared by his cardio to return to the gym.  I knew he could the minute the cardio angiogramist came out to the waiting room and said, "There's absolutely nothing wrong with your husband's heart."  I won't say he was unenthusiastic about returning, but he was by no means dancing with joy.  Tough kishkas.

I read an expression which immediately charmed me with its succinctness:  Lifestyle Nazis.  This would be such as NYC Mayor Bloomberg and his oversized sodas (Doh, Mr. Bloomberg: buy two 10 oz.)   Our own local  district representative, Pat Aust, who wants to ban smoking on the Redondo Beach Pier where the wind in from the ocean is often so brisk and cold, that I take a jacket when we go for dinner down there.    Apparently, he's never looked at our summer visitors, many of whom come from "inland" and are armed.  I can imagine a Pier cop telling one of these gangsters to, "Put it out please."   Has Aust no sympathy for our police officers?

Running Figures
As of today, June 26, President Obama has held 32 fundraisers since June 1, 2012, worked 17 days of the month and on June 24th played his 101st game of golf.  These travels on Air Force 1 have cost the taxpayers $5.5 million, solely in AF 1 costs with no support, Beast transport, etc. included.
